David Miliband (you know, bloke with daft haircut who doesn't know the first thing about politics and is the British Foreign Secretary) has decided to sit down and have halva with Hezbollah. Now there's a good idea. Not. He says there are nice democratic Hezbollah MPs in Lebanon and they are OK to talk to because they are different from the horrid terrorist ones who kill people. He should know that it was something like this which did for Segolene Royal's bid for the French Presidency in 2007 - she went to Lebanon and had meetings with MPs, and although Lebanon is still a francophone country the MPs were speaking Arabic so an interpreter was present. Hezbollah has refused to renounce terrorist violence, and Sego was pictured drinking tea with them, nodding and smiling. she wrote later in her book (worth a read incidentally) that the interpreter had not told them everything the Hezbollah MPs were saying (they were pledging to destroy Israel). Above you will see some of those nice democratic Hezbollah chappies, as well as the lovely Davy-babes.

If David Milliband ever becomes Labour Leader - he will have exactly the level of effectiveness as George Lansbury - or Neville Chamberlain, if we attempt a parallel with the 'other' party.
Cannot understand what Hillary Clinton ( a woman for whom I have the most enormous admiration)sees in him. Unless it is that, as far as Hillary is concerned - anyone who 'is not Bill' starts with a 100% advantage.
For some reason Milliboy always reminds me of a living version of those composite photos used as a background for "Have I got news for you".
Check it out next time it's on.
His only virtue is that he's not Harriet.
Sorry - won't hear a word against her.
Thank you, Jack.
No just one of the many women who respect Harriet and detest the cheap sexism thrown at her - especially by Labour Party males.
Save your scorn for men and women who deserve it - starting with Sally Bercow.
Well, let's hope Mad Hattie takes over what's left of New Labour after the election. Then you'll be able to hold the party conference in a phone box.
Remind me, which schools did Harriet "Equality" Harman choose for her kids ?
And what is wrong with phone boxes?
Go to Malta.
They have wonderful, Dr WHO style phone boxes there, plus a Labour club in every street - so Harriet will, as always be on the right track.
Don't be so phonist.
Jack, I'd pay for you and her to go to Malta.
One way only, obviously.
